The phrase repeated is "Go back to" (or simply "go back"), used at the start of several clauses.
Through this anaphora King emphasizes a call to action and perseverance: that activists should return to many specific places (the South and the northern slums) and continue working for change with hope and determination. The repetition stresses the widespread scope of the struggle and the urgency and resolve needed to make change happen.
